2012 Riesling South Block Sawmill Creek Vineyard 89

By far the most tense and rocky Riesling of the Red Newt lineup, the 2012 Sawmill Creek South Block opens with aromas of green apple, bread dough, and petrol. On the palate the wine is austere to the point of feeling bony, with a penetrating chalky quality that extends into the finish. 7 grams per liter residual sugar.

Electric-pink color and piercing acidity add to the unique personality of this bold angular Cabernet Franc rosé. Tart sour-cherry and raspberry flavors are pristine and primary, but nuanced with lingering hints of bramble and savory herb. This is a refreshingly substantive style of rosé to enjoy with even heartier fare well into the fall months. reviewed 7/1/2017 Anna Lee C. Iijima
